We play an important role as an employer, service provider, and leader in our community. We're committed to respecting differences, actively fighting against discrimination, making sure everyone has equal opportunities, and promoting understanding among people from different backgrounds in the areas we serve.

Our goal is to do more than just what the law requires when it comes to treating everyone fairly. We want to create a community where every person matters, feels safe, can take part in public life, and has the chance to achieve their potential while being treated with respect.

We provide resources and guidance for colleagues in our internal network, to help us meet our responsibilities for equality. We also have Equality Champions attached to our service units, who can offer extra support and advice.

Our commitment as an employer to equality and diversity is part of our Corporate Strategy and our Equality and Diversity policy.
